'''Slope length''' is the distance from the point of origin of overland flow to the point where either the slope gradient decreases enough that deposition begins, or the runoff [[water]] enters a well-defined channel that may be part of a drainage network or a constructed channel. For the NRI, length of slope is taken through the sample point.
